Spirits Are High This Holiday Season

While your great uncle belts karaoke after throwing back one too many spiked’nogs or you and your buddies are heading to the bar dressed in the ugliest of sweaters - the holiday season brings out a number of quirky cocktails – and people.

Bring over the best:

Although we encourage you to stop into our bars to have a festive concoction mixed by the very best – we get to it. Sometimes it’s too tough to get the extended family out of the house during this busy time of year. So, to keep you from getting coal this year, mix up one of these holiday cocktails for friends and family – even if you’re celebrating Festivus. Although, we can’t promise that these crazy holiday cocktails won’t bring out the family dysfunction a little sooner!
